2Financing Options for Clients•An important difference to highlight between PB & Swap is that long financing is paid on the full notional of the swap, whereas in PB the long financing is paid on the actual debit balance.•Scenario 1 – SwapLong $100mn of GE on SwapClient would pay L+50 on $100mn notional of GEClient posts 20% collateral( cash, pb equity, or treasuries)Earn interest (Fed Funds) on their collateral•Scenario 2 – PBLong $100mn of GE in PBClient is posting $20mn in margin and therefore running a debit of $80mn, so client pays DB debit financing of L+50 on $80mn. Do not earn interest on their margin, which goes to reducing the loan principal

2Balance Sheet Impact of SwapLong Portfolio Swap•The hedge of long swaps are extremely balance sheet intensive because our swaps desk needs to buy the underlying instrument of the swap and that asset then sits on DB’s balance sheet. •In order to remain balance sheet neutral and still produce positive P&L DB can go out to another broker dealer and sell our hedge to them and strike a similar swap we have on with clients to effectively be balance sheet neutral and still assist clients with their long exposure needs. •With Illiquid assets this type of balance sheet reducing trade is not likely, thus these assets “dead end” on DB’s balance sheet. Thus DB is funding these trades via unsecured funding, which is more expensive and as a result, these trades are more expensive for our clients. •Additionally, we can be compensated for the balance sheet usage of the hedge by allowing our securities lending desk to use the inventory for borrow requests. However, this still does not reduce the balance sheet.ClientBrokerLibor + SpreadHedgeLibor FlatPerformanceMarketHedgePerformance

2Balance Sheet Impact of SwapShort Swap•The borrow of a clients short swap exposure creates a receivable on the balance sheet because we post collateral to the lender and this will be canceled out when a client closes out their short position and the collateral is returned.•In order to minimize the balance sheet impact of a short swap, we can use long inventory to cover/facilitate a clients borrow request to pair down the balance sheet exposure.

What students are saying

As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

Kiran
Temple University Fox School of Business ‘17, Course Hero Intern

I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

Dana
University of Pennsylvania ‘17, Course Hero Intern

The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
